12oz bottle, left behind by Kevin...gracias senor! Amber color. Sparse, but thick around the edges head...some lace. Wonderful red hue in the light. Gently rising bubbles. Intense carmel aroma shows faint citric hop spice...a wee bit of oxidized malt too, it plays well. Impressive palate. Malt, oxidation, hops completely in-check. Drinks like velvet. A very harmonious barelywine. I’m sure glad they didn’t add fruit to this one! Very "english" in character I guess...as the hops aren’t the focal point.

Jul 21, 2009 Enormous thanks to Cletus for reuniting me with the beer that convinced me that Barley Wines weren’t all hot alcoholic messes. This poured strangely clear with tons of floaties, a beautiful brilliant red color with a nice head. Aroma has a good caramel maltiness and a bit of alcohol, and some apple. The flavor still has some nice hops in there surprisingly enough, with a nice cherry and caramel, alcohol is there but it is very well balanced. I hope the Iced barley wine is this good aged. This stuff is exquisite.

Jul 19, 2009 Shakeyfest 09. Huge thanks to Andy! So many floaties but who cares. Rather sweet like an aged barley wine, no surprise. Good malt complexity. Dries up well with some alcohol kick -nice- on the tongue in the finish. Bit of good tang.
